Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Menace2Tacos Menace2Tacos (@Menace2Tacos) reported

    Overwatch 2 was broken the day it was made free to play.

  • ReshiRed_ ℛ𝒆𝓼𝓱𝓲ℛ𝒆𝓭🌺 (@ReshiRed_) reported

    They gotta get rid of this hyper burst healing stuff in Overwatch, it's insane how much value it gets atm. Also the mmr in both qp/comp, fix it, it's not fixed at all.

  • C0SMICESPORTS COSMIC (@C0SMICESPORTS) reported

    The problem with overwatch is that it's so HEAVILY team based that unless you have a decent 5-stack, the game isn't fun because you either destroy the other team or you get destroyed.

  • MlLFWIFE emmy (@MlLFWIFE) reported

    overwatch matchmaking is so ******* broken like why did our plat grp get matched against a mfing top 500

  • games_miz Mizy Gamez (@games_miz) reported

    Okay so, OverWatch really needs to do something about their spawn camper issue, because like every single match I've been in on support has been a spawn camper match like there's got to be some better punishment for it or like a way to penalize it because it's not fun

  • XgTeddy TeddyXG🇩🇪 (@XgTeddy) reported

    overwatch2's pinging system is cancer... 9 out of 10 times when i try to ping an enemy who is flanking from behind or a sniper I get the too much messages error message, even when it's the first thing I try to ping after 2 minutes (no chatting before that) #Overwatch

  • wannabe_bard7 Tyler (@wannabe_bard7) reported

    @VonClownsewitz Many thanks, I actually didn't expect a reply. I can definitely understand your feeling there, coming back online after an outage to this, and being that I'm someone who maintains it is wrong to use a militant approach (imo we need "Overwatch", not armies), this is just...

  • CROWNX13 CROWNX (@CROWNX13) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Dear aaronkeller I just want to said that competitve overwatch 2 is MISERABLE. I just cant wait no more. I know it take time to fix some stuff but pls fix the matchmaking. I am tired each day to play with silver and gold tank / dps when i am master in support.

  • Moaiofknowledge Moai 🗿 VTuber (@Moaiofknowledge) reported

    @VMissingno >overwatch Found the problem

  • MichaelG_3D Michael Guerrero (@MichaelG_3D) reported

    @fairyfayaa @RSPN_Hideouts This is so upsetting to see, overwatch has the same problem idk how these people have no sympathy after saying such terrible things :(

  • silvoom silvoom (@silvoom) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Dude, people hate the Vaccinator and call it Medic's most annoying medigun for a reason. Overwatch has enough problems, including one of TF2's most infamous is a very bad idea.

  • lgbtanime Nisha | Baizhu waiting room (@lgbtanime) reported

    @lovelyoimiya THATS MY ISSUE TOO..... im so used to moving in overwatch like crazy. but i know with cassidy target practice i have to stay still to get a good aim somtimes so I HOPE IT WORKS OUT

  • axirez Destined Axirez 🏵️ (@axirez) reported

    @VerMMOverdrive Im screaming cause overwatch is lagging completely at random

  • Stryxus Stryxus (@Stryxus) reported

    My @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch automated unjustified suspension from the game expired and, I am still suspended. I hope @Qwik can fix all this mess when he has the powers for it.

    ㅤ ㅤCurrently trying to collect data from the overwatch database, but an error keeps popping up. ㅤ“ くそ — Kuso.. ” (Damnit..) ㅤ

  • Ohnoitslooshie2 Ohnoitslooshie (@Ohnoitslooshie2) reported

    @SpicyBakerVT Thats kinda the issue. My friend group ain't into shooters all like that so I def gonna have to go in solo. Which is fine,I handled solo overwatch comp so I am sure I can handle valorant LOL

  • FlameChico ChicoFlame (@FlameChico) reported

    Bye my overwatch is lagging so badly and I am getting penalized because of the lag making me leave games cuz I’m moving left and right violently

  • nemolee_exe nemolee.exe (@nemolee_exe) reported

    Somehow my laptop crashes everytime I play Overwatch with a clock watchdog error BS. I have tried everything. @msiUSA_Tech can you tell me what's wrong?

  • NZudilov nikolai zudilov (@NZudilov) reported

    @OhReallyJared You're doing a stunningly mediocre job with Overwatch 2 guys. Matchmaking frustrates people to the limit, there is simply no progression and the game does not deliver either casual or hardcore gamers. BUT you have anime skins now!! This of course will fix everything.

  • issh0mans a lowly tarnished (@issh0mans) reported

    ok I played overwatch an hour ago and had no problems, I come back to my headset just no longer playing any audio :)

  • blindmonkey98 Yaniel R.(DarkScouterGamer)💙 (@blindmonkey98) reported

    @dragonabyss777 @EightUltra @tekim43 That issue is that with that you have knowledge of what you are getting guaranteed 100%, loot boxes is a chance to get “something” you could legit spent 50 dollars for 50 loot boxes in overwatch and not get the skin you wanted in the perio😭💀

  • GCSantanaAA Sapo Español (@GCSantanaAA) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I have uninstall the game until you show us the players rank again like in overwatch 1. When that happens i´ll believe that you have solved your matchmaking problems. Your matchmaking is one of the worst i´ve ever seen. It's just not fun anymore.

  • DS_DoggerX DoggerX, Tarnished Hunter (@DS_DoggerX) reported

    Why does overwatch keep matching me with people who have seemingly never played a single video game in their life. Dps with no kills, supports with no healing, tanks who just rush alone. PLEASE FIX THIS MATCHMAKING WTFFFF

  • MaineBlue4 MaineBlue (@MaineBlue4) reported

    @BlizzardCS wondering why overwatch 2 suddenly has poor frame rate performance on Xbox Series X? Never had an issue until yesterday.

  • BrunoSommer Bruno Sommer (@BrunoSommer) reported

    @draginol @Blizzard_Ent Overwatch has basically the same issue. Really fed up with the things they are selecting for in their matchmaking (most likely retention and not fair matches).

  • TopherTerps Mfer. Terps (@TopherTerps) reported

    @hutchthequack Yeah we will have 5 devices on, streaming tv, and I will play overwatch with no issues. Just download the app and make sure you have good visibility first. Even on crazy snow days, its 100x better than what I had.

  • PEARLMlYA Coral 🖤 (@PEARLMlYA) reported

    can someone show me the dailes in overwatch?? I'm in my grandmother house and my screen is so broken that I can't even read

  • xo_diawna d!ana (@xo_diawna) reported

    ARE ALL BECAUSE IM SWEATING MY *** OFF BECAUSE 1 PERSON CANNOT PULL THEIR WEIGHT. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD OVERWATCH. PLEASE. FIX. THIS. IM STUCK IN BRONZE ELO BEACUSE MFS CANNOT PULL THEIR WEIGHT.

  • YaOldBuddy YaOldBuddy 🍥 (@YaOldBuddy) reported

    I really want to like Overwatch... The main issue im having with it is the overall matchmaking. It takes forever to just get into an arcade game atm even if it is fully populated. Often it happens that you are being put into a game where its already ending as well.
